We’ve been home for a few weeks now without going on any road trips.  I’ve been really busy at work in corporate America as well as doing some freelance photography work (which I really, really love).  I actually had to take PTO (paid time off) from work to be able to do my photo shoots.  I wish I could do that full time (minus the working in corporate America — sorry boss if you are reading, although I know you would fully 100% support me!).

Anyways.  Speaking of corporate America, I work in downtown Bellevue, Washington.  It’s a very up and coming city and I am lucky (my poor wallet is not) to be surrounded by many great shopping opportunities.  Take for example World Market, which is literally less than five minutes walking distance from my office.

On my last walk there, I spied this super cute cookie jar.  So in honor of Fab Finds Tuesday tomorrow I present this cookie jar to you :)  You can order it online here if you don’t have a WM near you ❤

Here it is on my shelf in my office at home (B and I keep our secret stash of goodies in there — shhhh, don’t tell hubby lol):

My recent freelance photography shoot was that of an athletic facility.  Here is the Pilates studio which I just fell in love with.   Have you ever done Pilates?  I recently ordered a Total Gym exercise machine to have at home to hopefully start learning.  Do you exercise everyday?  What is your regime?  I’d love to hear . . .

I’ve been on a fruit salad kick lately.  B really loves Kiwis so I’ve been making a fruit salad medley of Kiwi’s, strawberries, blueberries and oranges.  I stir some honey into the mix and keep it covered in the fridge.  He loves this on top of mogurt (aka, yogurt — because that’s how he pronounced it when he was just a little babe and I like to keep calling it that — because he likes it too ❤)

I also received in the mail these adorable “L O V E” battery powered (and timer timed) marquee letters.  They are simply so cute!  I learned about them from a new friend I made.  She invited B and I over for dinner one night and I was instantly smitten with her.  She has the sweetest little boy and he and B played together so well!  While the boys played together, she and I bonded and she shared with me where to find these sweet marquee letters that she had in her beautiful home.  If you are interested in them, you can find them here.

I’ve also been feeling under the weather and have this ridiculous cough I just can’t seem to shake.  I also can’t hear out of my right ear because of the ending of this really bad cold.  Argh.  It’s frustrating.  I’m going to the doc next week for sure if this doesn’t get any better.

For now, I let Oliver be my ears at home because he hears everything !

Our weather in Seattle has been really different this year.  Winter was super weak (hardly any snow in the mountains) and our Spring came really early.  Some days are so pretty with temps reaching up into the high 60’s (today on my way home from work my car temperate gauge read it was 68 degrees outside!).   Last week I was greeted to this wild sky at home (that’s Seattle you see there in the distance):

Thank you for being here and I hope this wasn’t too weird of a post in lieu of Fab Finds Tuesday.  I just felt like opening up a little bit more . . .

As far as Airstream trips go, we have many planned such as visiting an RV friendly resort located along a beautiful river in Idaho to kayaking in the San Juan Islands in Washington State to visiting our mountain country property in Roslyn, Washington.  I look forward to seeing how the apple and plum trees are blossoming away this Spring.  Also the annual Vintage Trailer Rally is happening again in the fairgrounds in Roslyn over Father’s Day weekend.  That’s always fun.

Good times ahead!

Thank you for listening xoxo

With shiny love,
